I do not have any kind of time estimate since it is in my spare time. I chose this route after spending considerable time looking at Apple and Solaris implementations and wanting something without all of the legacy 1.0 crap. I do have a very minimal working FUSE version at this point, but there is much to do, and even more to abide by the various specifications. I just thought I'd share in case anyone is interested. - John --yuy36hhzwjkj4ibk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAABCgB9FiEEJaAswQZQMflCdCA6RqljBb/iPUAFAmZfjJJfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDI1 QTAyQ0MxMDY1MDMxRjk0Mjc0MjAzQTQ2QTk2MzA1QkZFMjNENDAACgkQRqljBb/i PUCHWw//daWymfX0sBCNL23MNMoJOXvoA3PnpCXJ5NFrNVQ/S5dl92BbM321Uk3W e7wFOe9eHsFhLvNM8ZFANyo9yOjX3uHdSLGbHiYAkzKIVJ9JxNQw1V4BOzgofdtf hnxSj9TF3Y9kOIUCZeWZ5amg6SD8pJQQ3fM3Y2jXh81v9RSoFLeA9VgYX7e/jctk E9kujvM7O2o4ai2yVhLuB1E5t3ujULpWG+hdrzgfKpF8PYubjRGew/v7Z4qRIwEb 4jLPFXQmv74aOI8t4G6svM0UO3R/Vlr2nz3PpIXBrgSQer7fJNbiiJdbjPomY9HB iWigG2GoJaxN2sD4X2bYcYWT9+/JJofMX1WI2kQqceJ358h+J5sV4TUixA3ytrKW AnOfiW/yJbF+G1VYE6xT5XoeFVB/9GepJZFvlt6K2HpoCKl1Xg3wlc7T13bC218o Eu+im+DEYhxU5MXrHJ50ZFr6itRVK/nQmR+/JuDZRdxEPxihUPGheO0wN+7IB9lH qTYWq0mVcsURy1ui20ImAuUwy2lgmlmAmoJ/R/I/FQrMKgTAvjEGrQLElxzfWetJ hc9AufXNOEz5rY5xf5jZwelj87CUhfY4emUlB7Wtltsa4JuhnxL4DqPdKILogIZw RRl1NyquFYd5/kOjzwCoVLGBYQZQ7teo8HqIbEGpMIMPHxI+4eI= =9qBf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --yuy36hhzwjkj4ibk--
